DEVIL'S FOOD SQUARES
This is a wonderfully easy chocolate cake recipe and its so delicious. It has a hint of cinnamon but not enough to distract from the chocolate. If you enjoy baking with children this is a good one. Ice the cake while hot. You can serve hot or cold. (my favorite) Don't make the icing until cake is out of the oven, icing must be hot to pour over cake.

DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE I
This is an old-fashioned, but easy-to-make devil's food cake recipe. Pound cake like texture and sinfully chocolately. This is from an old Philadelphia Bakery. Great when frosted with Chocolate Fudge Buttercream Frosting.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour one 9x13 inch pan or two 9 inch round pans.
- In a small pan melt the butter or margarine with the unsweetened chocolate. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Cream together the sugar and the eggs until light in color. Add the chocolate mixture to the eggs and temper mixture by beating well (so you don't end up with scrambled eggs!) Add 1 cup boiled water (still warm) and blend well. Mixture will be very liquid.
- Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this mixture to the chocolate mixture and blend well.
- Mix together the vinegar and the milk and stir into the chocolate batter. Pour into prepared pan(s).
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cake divides well for filling with mousse, or ganache, or black forest fillings. The best clue to this cake being nearly done is that you will start to smell the aroma of chocolate filling your house!

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher is ideal.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a rich and creamy frosting to complement the chocolate cake. A chocolate ganache or buttercream frosting are both excellent choices.
- Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings, such as chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or fresh berries.
